Hump Day

It's mid-week - Wednesday, also known as Hump Day. 

Over on the Bootcamper blog, Hannah Wride reports on Boot-i-Con. Check it out!

And while I'm here, can I just say how great it is that the US voted for Barrack Obama.  What an acceptance speech.  Hope flourishes. 

I went to the library to pick up some DVDs I had on hold. The librarian noticed they were all Speculative Fiction. And she was right - Farscape Season 4, Doctor Who (with Christopher Eccleston), Jericho Season 1.  I tend to watch scifi instead of read it (I think it's because I'm not sciencey enough to imagine the detail). 

Does anyone have any good recommendations for Science Fiction novels/authors? I think I'll hit the lighter stuff first before the heavy SF. Yep, I'm just asking that my TBR pile become the size of the moon. *grin*

Part 2 of What the Bootcampers write features Hannah Wride and mwah!  Go have a looksy here.

Meanwhile most of the Bootcampers are at Boot-i-Con. *Sigh* I'm not one of them. Boot-i-Con is a goss fest, a catch up, writing exercises, food and champagne. See why I wanted to be there :((  Hoping you have fun girls.
